PRO TIP #2: Use our resources for "real life" photos. We know it is frustrating and confusing! And it our biggest pet peeve.but sadly, we are not in control of photography from the manufacturers. The finishes match it is just that the pictures do not. So, for example, if you search our site " brushed brass by Cosmas ," it may look like the finishes are not the same from one cabinet pull to the next - but that is simply not the case. Pictures taken by different companies and at different times yield slightly different results, and the colors don't look to match.

The customers' expectation of the color and the problematic professional photography can sometimes lead a customer to not get what they are looking for.Īnother problem with gold and brass hardware photography is the timing of the picture and the photography company. From time to time, we hear customer feedback that a particular finish is "too yellow" or "too gold" or "not gold enough" - for what they wanted. On top of that, the essence of the finish may not be genuinely captured in professional photos. So what looks like "brushed gold" to one person might be more "brassy" to another. Unlike any of our other finishes, when placed under the studio's bright lights and against a stark white background, the gold and brass hardware doesn't always capture the essence of the finish.
